This is a forum to describe my life as I await a renal transplant and a outlet for my photographs. i'd like to hear any comments on my photos - likes or dislikes. There will be other comments about current events as I see them from time to time.

So it begins - I'm a 46 year old male in need of a kidney/pancrease transplant. This last year of my life has been quite a struggle. In the past 3 months I've been hospitalized 6 times for a total of29 days. I'm doing a little better now and decided to record my feelings about this illness and share my love for art and photography through this blog with anyone who cares to read it.

most of my photos will be from the North Georgia area as I live just outside of Atlanta. I use two digital cameras a Panasonic DMC FZ-20 and a DMC FZ-30. My film camera is an old Minolta X-700 and Pentex K-1000. I'm using an HP 2410xi scanner.

About Me

I am a 47 year old male that is now on dialysis awaiting a kidney/pancreas transplant. This blog follows my everyday thoughts and feelings about this.
Before all this, I was a very active person who liked to hike, fish, take photographs even scuba and sky dive. My cameras include four digital Panasonic DMC's FZ20 & FZ30,
Minolta D5, Nikon D80 and 2 film models a Minolta X-700 & Pentex K-1000. I've recently added a Crown Graphic 4x5 large format for black & white.
I have been married to my wife, Sue,for twenty years this May. She has been my savior throughout this ordel.
Others have been of great support to me also. My parents, relatives and friends have all worked to keep my spirits up. I want to thank them all for their efforts.
Please see my previous post for bachground on my illness.
Thanks - Mark
